VOLUNTEERING

The 48-HOUR RIDE would not be what it is without its 400 volunteers who work hard all weekend! Volunteers are friends, family, coworkers and corporate groups who cherish our cause. Everyone who wants to make a difference in the lives of children with a critical illness is welcome! 

Please feel free to share this volunteering opportunity with your friends, family and colleagues.

VOLUNTEER REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED!
